Flood Watch – May 7, 2020 – Event 12, Bulletin 2

May 7, 2020

Highlights:

  • Strong winds and wave action
  • Storm surge and potential flooding
  • Possible shoreline erosion and road closures
A Strong Wind Warning continues to be in effect for southern Lake Huron. Northerly/northwesterly winds are anticipated be strong over the coming days, with fluctuations in sustained wind speeds upwards of 35 km/h and gusts upwards of 80km/h. Waves are anticipated to build with increasing wind speeds and are projected to vary between one half metre upwards to two metres in height.

The Lake Huron shoreline is anticipated to experience wind-driven wave action with possible erosion and minor flooding, particularly in the Old Lakeshore Road area of Brights Grove. Due to this wave action, roads along the shoreline may become closed.

Residents are reminded to avoid watercourses and flooded areas due to slippery banks and cold, swift moving water. Children and pets should be kept away from the water.

The Conservation Authority continues to monitor watershed conditions and will issue advisories to municipalities and media should flood issues arise.

Municipal emergency response staff and road superintendents should monitor local conditions closely.

This message will remain in effect until Sunday, May 10, 2020, unless otherwise updated.
